3D Printed Latex Rubber Breakthrough
Virginia Tech researchers have discovered a novel process to 3D print latex rubber, unlocking the ability to print a variety of elastic materials with complex geometric shapes. . Latex, commonly known as the material in gloves or paint, refers to a group of polymers...
3D-printing blood vessels with laser-welded sugar
Bioengineers at Rice University showed they could keep densely packed cells alive for two weeks in relatively large constructs by creating complex blood vessel networks from templates of 3D-printed sugar. . “One of the biggest hurdles to engineering clinically...
IP Security: Reverse Engineering to Test Vulnerability in 3D Printer Toolpaths
We hear a lot about engineering hardware and software and other accompanying technologies for 3D printing, so the idea of going in reverse may raise an eyebrow or two; however, scientists from the NYU Tandon School of Engineering are using machine learning and reverse...
Holographic 3D Printing With Multiple Lasers
Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed a method of using holography in 3D printing. . Holography is an optical method of producing and recording a three-dimensional light field by using multiple light sources to create an interference field. You’ve...
Bio-Ink for 3-D Printing Inside the Body
A bio-ink developed at The Ohio State University (OSU) can be three-dimensionally printed at human body temperature, and solidified using visible light. . Researchers at The Ohio State University (OSU) have developed a bio-ink that can be three-dimensionally (3D)...
Holographic beam shaping to deliver a boost to metallic 3D printing
Cambridge engineers have begun a three-year research programme to help speed up the manufacture of metallic 3D printed parts and products, by using computer-generated holography. . In recent years, the manufacturing industry has witnessed a rise in the use of 3D...
LZH’s Moonrise project simulates 3D-printing on the moon
Research project in which moondust is laser-melted under lunar conditions suggests moon-based manufacturing is feasible. The spheres appear inconspicuous but they are unique. They consist of moon dust, molten under moon gravity in the course of the MOONRISE project....
Louisiana universities collaborate on 3D printing technology, and other metro-area college news
With a $20 million grant, the National Science Foundation has established the Louisiana Material Design Alliance, which brings five Louisiana universities together to design complex alloys and polymers for 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing. . Jihun...
How to Add Spray-On Lights to 3D-Printed Parts
Typically, if you're prototyping something and you need part of that prototype to illuminate, you have to design around whatever off-the-shelf lighting component you're using. The available technology thus influences the final form. . What if, instead, you could 3D...
